Great news they are extending the deadline. I've presented as BAAL Health & Science SIG and each time it's been a very warm and welcoming environment, that encourages the sharing of ideas. Good first conference to present at for #GraduateStudents and it's online!
Very happy to share the new course that I contributed to while working with the Centre for Crime, Justice, and Policing at the University of Birmingham. www.birmingham.ac.uk/study/short-...

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
A close up photograph of a printed page titled “Let People Be” centred at the top in red text. Beneath the title is a thin red horizontal line. The main body of text is printed in black on textured off white paper and every line is highlighted in bright yellow. The highlighted section reads: “You know what’s underrated? Letting people be. Letting them mispronounce a word, talk too much about a show they love, or get excited about something you don’t understand. You don’t have to get it, just be kind. Everyone’s got something that lights them up. Let them shine, even if it’s not your thing.”
“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of being.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
There’s something magical about letting people be.
Letting them shine in the ways that make sense to them.

Interesting! Thanks for the details 😀
Started a new remote job. The team I’m working with is mostly US and some Canadians. They use the plus emoji (➕) as an “I agree” which I’ve never seen before (usually it’s a thumbs 👍). #Linguistics

I've cited some research papers that used TikTok as their source that analysed what the creators were talking about. I don't know of a way to use it to track any meaningful demographics of viewers though. What were you thinking to use it for?
A bar chart with horizontal stacked bars in maroon and gold showing that most Americans see news they think is inaccurate, and about half say it’s tough to know what is true
Nine-in-ten U.S. adults say they at least sometimes come across news they think is inaccurate, but they are split over how easy it is to distinguish truth from fiction. www.pewresearch.org/...
I finished watching S3 of The Diplomat. Can't stop thinking about the line "Stop admiring the problem and focus on solving it" (or thereabouts, can't recall exact quote).
South Korea has just launched a HUGE universal basic income pilot focused on rural areas. Around 220,000 people will receive 150,000 won a month for two years in 7 counties.
A similar pilot in the US would cost $1 billion and provide $180 a month to all of Wyoming outside of Cheyenne and Casper.
For our good night we are sharing this great piece on the history of processed food in America. We agree with the 🧠🪱 on this - the American diet of processed foods is trash. But we don’t blame you, we blame Big Ag and Big Food who are as bad as Big Tobacco.
Good night!
A sticker that says "I voted!" from Elections Calgary.
Very busy in my local ward for voting today. Good luck for today to the election workers as those paper based ballots are time consuming.
Aww, thanks for your support!
It has been such a pleasure to work with and learn from so many mentors, colleagues, friends, and students over the years.
I then networked and took on interdisciplinary work of researcher wellbeing with Dr. Sophie King-Hill and Dr. Katharina Karcher. From there I met and worked with Dr. Benjamin Costello and Dr. Jessica Woodhams at the Centre for Crime, Justice and Policing.
I want to thank the people I worked with who gave me opportunities to take on interdisciplinary research projects such as water communication with @michamahlberg.bsky.social and David M. Hannah.
